This argument ignores the non-attack overload case. Lack of window scaling may increase the load (in terms of the number of connections required for achieve a certain level of aggregated bandwidth), making such situations worse. (Window scaling is more important than it used to be because bandwidth-delay products tend to be larger these days.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
